This is the twentieth year of the Annual in the book format. We’re happy to welcome the Vegas Line back to the book, along with an article from our returning manager Eric Sheffler. It’s hard to believe that the editorial team has been at this for this long, but it’s hard to argue with documentary evidence. This year Robert Jordan re-joins our merry band with his usual skill and humor. We’ve approached the ideas of team-building from all sorts of angles, but this year we’re taking a look at the “secret formula” that teams have used over the years to grab the brass ring. Our regular features are back as well, giving our insights into past, present and future. We hope you enjoy our work, and TBL’s new season. Walter, Mark May, 2015 The T.Q. System Shamelessly stolen from the Mazeroski annual, the T.Q. System assigns points to each area of the team’s expected performance and totals the result. The maximum score under the T.Q. System is 50, divided as follows: Pitching: 20 points Offense: 17 points Defense: 8 points Bench: 5 points The T.Q. System does not take age or prospect value into account, only present capability. It does, however, consider usage (available games, at bats and innings). 4 The 2015 TBL Annual table of contents FRONT MATTER The Winning Formula Bob Jordan 6 SNTs 9 Future Drafts 10 TQ Summary 11 Manager Roll Call 12 2015 Computer Pre-Play Clay Beard 13 Hall of Fame: Enshrinee 2015 14 Hall of Fame: For Your Consideration 15 Statesmen Return to The: Will Winning Follow?

    SEATTLE MARINERS NEWS CLIPS April 8, 2010 Originally published April 7, 2010 at 10:13 PM | Page modified April 7, 2010 at 11:51 PM Mariners bullpen falters in 6-5 loss to Oakland Oakland's Kurt Suzuki drilled a deep fly ball past the glove of Milton Bradley at the left-field wall in the ninth inning, handing reliever Mark Lowe and the Mariners a 6-5 walkoff loss. By Geoff Baker Seattle Times staff reporter OAKLAND, Calif. - The realities of a six-man bullpen began hitting the Mariners about as hard as their opponent was by the time the fifth inning rolled around. It was clear by then that Seattle starter Ryan Rowland-Smith would have to scratch and claw just to make it through the minimum five innings his team desperately needed Wednesday night. After that, it was Russian roulette time, as the Mariners played a guessing game with their limited relief corps, squeezing every last pitch they could out of some arms. But they couldn't get the job completely done as Kurt Suzuki drilled a deep fly ball past the glove of Milton Bradley at the left-field wall in the ninth inning, handing reliever Mark Lowe and the Mariners a 6-5 walkoff loss. After the game, manager Don Wakamatsu suggested the team would have to call up another bullpen arm if a similar long-relief scenario occurs in Thursday's series finale. "We can't keep going like this," Wakamatsu said. The second walkoff defeat in two nights for the Mariners, in front of 18,194 at the Coliseum, has them crossing their fingers that starters Doug Fister and Jason Vargas don't implode these next two days.
